Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.
